M Veit,

We shouldn't confuse arguing over softwood lumber versus
protecting the freedom of our societies. It is basic
principle that people who don't agree have the right to
speak in the US. The most critical commentary will come
from the yahoo's in those bunkers in the mid-west. Not
from Canada.

I can understand why you ask that because the US does
receive criticism from the world on various issues - but
thats because you're the world's only superpower militarily
and because of the US's power economically.

The US in my view is not overly worried about the comments
of other countries. It is appropriately concerned - but
does not shirk. No country does everything right and the
US has the right to protect its own interests.

I am satisfied overall with the balance the US achieves
and much prefer the US's focus on itself and everything
American versus expansion geographically.

The US is the only country in history I know of that twice
has been in the position of world domination and twice
went home instead to play baseball, make movies, and
enjoy the good life.

Think about that.

It is that leadership in teaching (by example) the planet
to focus on life and not military expansion which has
caused more and more countries to seriously pursue the
benefits of capitalism.

This is 21st century warfare against capitalism. All
capitalist countries are equally threatened. The towers
in Kuala Lumpur were immediately evacuated (tallest in
the world).

It requires us to identify that war is not now country
against country so much as in all centuries before the
21st - but is ideology versus ideology.

Not skin color or religion versus other colours or dogma
- but individuals of fanatisicm versus individuals of
accomodation.

but the truly important words are the words of support that will be missing for whatever way the US chooses to react. Knowing that, I have to say that all these sentiments of condolence ring a bit hollow.

That sentence is so American. Don't ever change.

The truth is we will now see America's unbelievable
strength when it determines to do something and it
will take the leadership it has repeatedly shown it does
not really want since its busy with its own life.

All of the people killed in this attack in New York were
all of us. Ordinary people pursuing our lives. THAT is
what is being threatened by fanatical individuals.

You will see the support when America leads the defence
of that.

God bless,

Wolf
Canada
